Route 2042 runs 8.6 miles in about 26 minutes and touches six areas, Etruria, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Basford, May Bank, Porthill and Longport, more ground than most routes at this test centre cover. Limits move between 30, 40 and 50 mph across 4 roundabouts and 14 sets of traffic lights.

Watch Out For

  • Two school areas with reduced limits fall on this route, one beside the test centre and one on the Basford side.
  • Five speed change points step the limit up and down, so 50 mph running arrives soon after 30 mph housing streets.
  • Two give way junctions sit on the approach back into Cobridge where the view is short.

Key Tips

  • Nine turns split 5 left and 4 right, so keep mirror and signal timing the same at each one.
